In reply to yeah_na_missed this is my 2c. In many parts of the country you're dead right. However, some parts carry minimal numbers and locals might not be too happy with this approach. Horses for...

Just shoot whatever you see. If we don't, DOC will. In the age of a burgeoning population of YouTube hunters, the deer population is still rapidly increasing. I saw something about a game...

I have been using the ELDX bullets in several of my rifles and always have had good success with them so long as you hit them right, much the same as with most bullets. I load for a mate who uses a...

The running 50m is normal with a chest shot for any bullet/calibre depending on the situation, especially if you dont break bones or hit CNS. Changing bullets likely won't make any difference on that...

I've had pretty devestating results from both the ELDM and SST factory hornady offerings. Most shots within 200m with generally large wound channels. Had a high shoulder hit on a goat at about 100m...

I have used both sst (for a short while) and the 123 eldm, had better results with the eldms so I stuck with them. Shot mainly pigs and hinds at 120y and under, one large stag chest shot DRT. My shot...

My understanding is that 123gn SST are designed for Grendel velocities. I push them at 3000fps from a creedmore and find them pretty splody but good for fallow and great for wallabies. I've got 120gn...

If it ain't broke, don't fix it, stick with your SST's. Whilst many of us (myself included) do use ELD-M's for hunting, they are not meant for it (and I have had them perform poorly) and so I...
